Michigan high court considers hearing consent deal suit
LANSING (AP) -- The Michigan Supreme Court is considering if it will take up a case over whether Detroit officials can enter into a financial oversight deal with the state.
The Court of Appeals ordered a stay last Friday of an Ingham County judge's ruling that state officials can't enter into a consent agreement with Detroit until he gives further orders.
Activist Robert Davis filed an emergency leave to appeal. Court spokeswoman Marcia McBrien says in an email Tuesday that the court has received a filing and will review it.
A deal between the state and city hasn't been reached, but both sides expect one could be struck by Friday.
Ingham County Circuit Judge William Collette originally ruled that the state review team must comply with the Open Meetings Act, slowing the process.
